You are your higher self, yet most people refer to their ego personality-self when they experience pain or joy. When pain or joy is perceived as equal, the higher self shines through the ego self, which spiritual leaders have called enlightenment. This balance between the forces of right and wrong, good and bad, love and fear, light and dark, etc., is what enlightenment comprises. Karma ends just there because the self can no longer perceive itself as good or bad, but as being both – and yet being free of either.
